DexNav: Difference between revisions

Different rooms of [[cave]]s and buildings are considered separate areas by the DexNav. However, when looking at an area's info via DexNav (such as when preparing to {{m|Fly}} to the location), DexNav will combine all areas into one display for review; the distinction is only made on the lower screen while inside the location.

A crown emblem may appear in the upper right of the DexNav, to indicate the player's progress. If all of the wild Pokémon in the area are in the player's Pokédex, the crown will be platinum. If the only missing Pokémon are foreign species unlocked by the defeat of Groudon/Kyogre, the crown will be gold. If the player is missing Pokémon from only one of the encounter methods listed above, the crown will be silver; if from two, the crown will be bronze. Otherwise, there is no crown.  Prior to the defeat of Groudon/Kyogre, some areas will show a gold crown even if there are no DexNav exclusive species; for instance, [[Lilycove City]] and other towns and cities with water areas will show a gold crown, and it will become a platinum crown only after defeating or capturing the game legendary.

Tapping anywhere on the DexNav screen except the non-silhouetted menu sprites themselves (but including the crown) while there is no magnifying glass present will display a message based on the number of Pokémon the player has obtained from a particular area. The message depends on the player's available methods for wild encounters, so will exclude Pokémon encounterable via surfing if the player doesn't have Surf, and will exclude Pokémon encounterable via fishing if they have no rods (although no distinction is drawn between rods for this purpose). If the player has caught all the Pokémon they can with their available methods, the message "Good job! You've caught them all!" will be displayed. After the foreign Pokémon are unlocked, that message will no longer appear, and the message "Amazing! Fantastic! You caught every possible Pokémon in this area!" will be displayed only if the foreign Pokémon have also been captured; this message will not appear in Lilycove City and others in the above example until the legendary defeat/capture. If the player has caught all the Pokémon they can with their available methods except one, the message "Nearly complete!" will be displayed. Otherwise, the message "There are still Pokémon in this area that you have not caught!" will be displayed.

If the player enters the Nearby Pokémon view, the Pokémon will be registered as seen in the [[Pokédex]] (if it isn't already). This also increases player's Search Level by 1. Specific overworld Pokémon such as [[Peeko]] will only increase the Search Level the first time they are registered, but generic overworld Pokémon such as the wild {{p|Wingull}} on {{rt|104|Hoenn}} will increase the Search Level each time the player returns to the location.  During the period between battling the in-game legendary ({{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}}) and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]], any Pokémon that is found through DexNav exclusivity, upon capture, will attempt to and then fail to register, being identified as not from Hoenn; these catches will still appear in DexNav and can be chained, but the Pokédex will not show the new information until you receive and check the National Dex.

The level of hidden Pokémon increases by one for each five successive encounters, and on the fifth encounter, the Pokémon is ten levels higher than what it was for the previous four encounters. The level bonus from chaining for hidden Pokémon resets to normal every 100 encounters.
